I like his film. I'll be interested to see how he is used in the offense.

Yep. I watched a couple of Ford's 2017 game highlight videos late this morning and saw why the staff wants him. Those showed some plays at RB. The video posted below which shows him more at WR impressed me too.

Excellent vision, great acceleration through tight holes, breakaway speed, evasive in space, shakes and breaks tackles well. Looked really explosive as a receiver and kick returner too. Very good downfield blocker. Made big plays both ways on kickoffs & punts.

Kid's a baller! Very much like Josh Jacobs, but faster.

He's #214 overall and a 4-star on 247Sports.

Bama should never lose, they have a talent advantage over everyone.

Every recruiting site inflates Alabama commits for no reason.

Boo this man... Composite 3... but yeah... Film looks good. Interesting to see Bama double up on APBs... Not sure if either dude is misclassified or more likely to serve a traditional RB role.

Very interesting, indeed. This one looks like the better of the two, to me. I wonder what this commitment means for the other one.

We only have one back committed. What am I missing here? Or are you talking about Bolden? If so, he's likely to be a slot WR.

Yeah, that's the guy I was thinking of. Rated as an APB... wasn't sure where he'd end up. Might have been discussed in the other thread though.
